Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Avocado oil
- 1 lemon Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by patting the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the batter adhere better.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of all spices.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. This will act as the binding agent for the coating.
Dip each cod fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then dredge it through the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to help the coating adhere. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to submerge at least half of the fillet.
Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), begin frying the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish from the oil using tongs or a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your crispy, keto-friendly fried fish!
